A responsibility
to be better

GUIDED BY AN ESG FRAMEWORK

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is a natural extension of our values: Relationships, Entrepreneurship, Integrity, and Gratitude. We measure and reduce environmental impacts, foster a diverse and inclusive workplace, strengthen our communities, and uphold a strong governance.

ESG Reporting

Peterson’s ESG framework is our north star for managing sustainability practices and risk. When it comes to examining our performance, a framework doesn’t give us the whole picture—we must measure the impact of our actions in the real world.

Reporting on sustainability and impact together shows us how and where we are creating long-term value and meaningful outcomes, and reveals where we need to improve.

Strategy and Approach

The individual strategies within Environmental, Social, and Governance may differ, but our approach is the same. We move with transparency, accountability, and responsible decision making.

Environmental

Our environmental strategy enhances the performance of our portfolio with a focus on improving energy use in our buildings, reducing GHG emissions, and responsible resource use. We continually seek out and implement new ways of achieving the above.

When we minimize our environmental impacts, we contribute to a more sustainable future for our tenants, residents, and communities.

Social

We take great pride in our people, and investing in them is an ongoing benefit for our company as a whole. With diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, our team brings insights to Peterson that make the communities we build stronger.

This commitment to people extends beyond our walls. Peterson supports several causes across healthcare, poverty alleviation, and food security, contributing over $1 million and 235+ hours of paid employee volunteer time.

Governance

Strong corporate governance is a fundamental aspect of how we operate. We use our values as a steady compass, alongside guidance from an experienced and primarily independent Board of Directors.

Our processes are designed to meet regulatory expectations and, importantly, to uphold the high standards we set for ourselves. This reduces risk, supports consistent performance, and reinforces the trust of our stakeholders.

Our Commitment In Action

  • Our Environment

    1/3

    200k Bees

    Bees are essential to the planet’s biodiversity, and we’ve stationed hives at two of our properties. In 2025, they produced 400 jars of honey and pollinated thousands of local flora. We also tend to urban farms that have harvested 450 pounds of vegetables, flowers, and herbs.

  • OUR SUSTAINABILITY

    2/3

    BOMA Certified

    Our focus on sustainability is recognized by a leading environmental certification program. To date, 93% of Peterson’s office buildings owned and managed in British Columbia have achieved BOMA BEST Sustainable Silver, and 100% of our open-air retail properties have achieved BOMA BEST Sustainable certification.

  • Our Contributions

    3/3

    $1 Million

    Dedicated to the betterment of our communities, Peterson has donated over $1 million to local charities. Our employees also give back, and have volunteered over 235 hours to causes meaningful to them, such as healthcare, youth and education, food security, and animal welfare.
